Aims: This study aimed at comparing several health outcomes in young adulthood among child refugees who settled in the different immigration and integration policy contexts of Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
Methods: The study population included refugees born between 1972 and 1997 who immigrated before the age of 18 and settled in the three Nordic countries during 1986-2005. This population was followed up in national registers during 2006-2015 at ages 18-43 years and was compared with native-born majority populations in the same birth cohorts using sex-stratified and age-adjusted regression analyses.
Results: Refugee men in Denmark stood out with a consistent pattern of higher risks for mortality, disability/illness pension, psychiatric care and substance misuse relative to native-born majority Danish men, with risk estimates being higher than comparable estimates observed among refugee men in Norway and Sweden. Refugee men in Sweden and Norway also demonstrated increased risks relative to native-born majority population men for inpatient psychiatric care, and in Sweden also for disability/illness pension. With the exception of increased risk for psychotic disorders, outcomes among refugee women were largely similar to or better than those of native-born majority women in all countries.

Large scale changes in biodiversity and conservation management require long-term goals and planning across multiple sectors in the face of increasing global change. Major trends in land use and management interventions, species additions or losses, and climate are well recognized, but responses are still often short-term and fragmented across agencies and sectors. Scenario-building can be a powerful tool to imagine possible futures, integrating across sectors and disciplines and promoting long-term thinking and planning.

Background: Chronic musculoskeletal (MSK) pain disproportionately affects Indigenous Peoples, and rural/remote communities face significant barriers in accessing care. La Loche, a Dene/Métis community in northern Saskatchewan, has limited access to specialized chronic pain management services and specialized health providers.
Aims: The aim of this needs assessment was to gain insight into the community's priorities, strengths, and concerns regarding chronic MSK pain management.
Article Synopsis
- Maternal morbidity and mortality (MMM) is a significant public health issue in the USA, particularly affecting Native American women who face higher rates than non-Hispanic White women.
- A systematic review of literature on risk factors for MMM among Native American women identified 26 risk factors, including race, rural residency, obesity, maternal age, and nulliparity, from 15 studies published since 2012.
- The findings highlight a lack of comprehensive research on this population, making it difficult to fully understand these risk factors or create targeted interventions to improve maternal health outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- * Using data from the Longitudinal Study of Indigenous Children (LSIC), researchers analyzed mother-child pairs to assess the correlation between healthy pregnancy practices and child development outcomes over a ten-year period.
- * Results indicated that a significant majority of mothers maintained healthy pregnancies, and a high percentage of children had appropriate birthweights and showed no developmental delays, suggesting a positive association between maternal health and child development.
